<p>Goodman also served as a judge on the popular BBC show &#8220;Strictly Come Dancing&#8221; for 12 years following its launch on the network in 2004, the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/dancing-judge-len-goodman-dies-3202b3512776199678dbd821cf48f040">Associated Press</a> noted.</p>
<p>The British star was a well-known professional ballroom dancer and British champion before he took his skills to the other side of competition, first on the BBC show and next on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;DWTS&#8221; in 2005. He remained as a staple of &#8220;DWTS&#8221; for 15 years before his retirement in November, <a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/global/len-goodman-dead-dies-dancing-with-the-stars-strictly-1235592215/">Variety</a> noted.</p>
<p>Speaking to the <a href="https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1650442109097324544?s=20">outlet</a> last year, Goodman said that he&#8217;s &#8220;just a dance teacher from Dartford. Suddenly, I&#8217;m thrust into Hollywood. I got the reputation for being the tough judge, because what I see is what I say.&#8221;</p>
